My friend has had her op, had the mirena finally removed and her gall bladder removed. Both through key hole surgery. Op went ok. Approx 3 hours. A couple of days later of not getting better but worse she had to be re opened. They thought she was leaking bile and said she'd need a colostomy bag for atleast 6 months. As it turned out she had internal bleeding and a belly full of blood clots.
She was given shots of adrenalin and was taken to theatre. The Dr asked if she had anything to say and she told him to pull her through as she had 3 little boys. The priest was down there and blessed her and said a prayer for her !!
The clots were moving to her lungs which is why her BP was so high and having a very hard time breathing. Her stomach was rock hard and had 1.5 litres of blood in it. This op went for approx 2 hours. They still don't know where the bleeding came from.
All the while through this she has kept on pumping. Even when off her head on medications her DP and the nurse put the pump on for her to keep up her supply. Bub has had some BM and is getting back to it but her supply has dropped some what.
